Sometimes women tend to realize quite late they are in toxic relationships.

That is why we need a psychologist to bring us down to earth.

Aurelia Ionescu, relationship psychologist, gives us seven important clues that should exist in a healthy relationship.

Mutual respect

Respect is present in a relationship if the partners cherish each other, understand the other person’s boundaries and do not break them. For example, if you say that you are not comfortable to do something, your partner should immediately understand.

Trust

If your partner sees you talking to another person of the opposite sex, does he get angry or keep calm because he knows that you would not cheat? A little jealousy is a natural emotion, but it is very important how he/she reacts when jealous.

Honesty

It is difficult or impossible to trust someone if he/she is not always honest about different aspects of daily life. If one says that he will be in a place and you find him in another, it will be harder to believe him think next time, right? So confidence will slightly fall apart.

The support

In a healthy relationship, your partner is by your side ‘for better or for worse’. That means he celebrates and enjoys when good things happen to you, but also stays with you when you are suffering.

Correctness

This means you should equally participate in decision-making. Things are deteriorating fast in a relationship if one partner insists things should always happen as he/she wants. That is when the relationship turns into a struggle for power.

Good communication

Sometimes it’s hard to be clear even to the ones that are closest to us. Same few words can actually mean very different things. That is why it is so important to ask for clarification whenever we’re not sure what to understand. It is a very healthy gesture that can save you from many disputes and even from suffering.
